Electric Range Rover Sport Takes To The ‘Ring With Familiar Design

Image
The electric Range Rover was spotted at the ‘Ring, looking the same as the ICE model. Four Range Rover EV models will be launched by the end of 2026. Electric versions of the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport are in the works and not long after our photographers snapped the latter up close, JLR’s engineers have taken it to the Nurburgring for a punishing testing regime. JLR is planning to launch four battery-electric Range Rover models by the end of 2026, and the Sport is tipped to be the second to launch. The spotted prototype looks virtually identical to the ICE-powered model, with the only obvious giveaway being the lack of exhausts and the silent running.

Moose Crashes BMW Workshop, Wages War On Restored E31 850i

Image
It’s unclear how the moose broke into the facility of Schmiedmann Sweden. A BMW 850i was at the workshop being restored when the animal attacked. Another E31 850i and an E36 3-Series were also damaged. A freshly painted E31 BMW 850i in Sweden will need to undergo some pretty significant bodywork repairs in Sweden, but not because it was involved in some kind of traffic accident. Instead, the prized two-door coupe was trampled by a moose that went rogue and wreaked havoc through a Swedish mechanic shop earlier in the month. The bizarre incident happened at Schmiedmann Sweden, a BMW and Mini parts specialist. According to an employee at the facility, the CEO of the company, Viktor Örtegren, was visiting the facility over the weekend and started hearing some knocking from the workshop. He went to investigate, suspecting that it might be a customer. However, he found an unwelcome guest of a different kind: a huge moose. Read: BMW Skytop Entering Production, But It’s Alread

Hitting the market with all the same off-roading abilities as the iconic Wrangler but in an even more practical body style, it quickly won fans and sold well. However, sales have declined over the past couple of years, prompting Stellantis to slash over 1,100 jobs at the Gladiator plant. In 2021, Jeep Gladiator sales in the US peaked at just under 90,000 units and it also sold well in 2020 and 2022. But, sales plunged to 55,188 in 2023 and through September this year, just 32,670 found homes across the country. This decline could be attributed to several factors.
